This seems to be at the core of how mobile design applications function, and it just goes to show how different a world it is if you’re a traditional desktop-based designer. ConclusionĬonsidering that the method used to create a perfect circle with Affinity Designer for the iPad is also the same method used in other apps, such as Procreate, it goes without saying that this knowledge will serve you elsewhere. Drawing a perfectly round circle is done the same way - drawing with one hand and using the other to hold a tap. The same goes for other mobile design apps as well, such as Procreate. This just doesn’t just work with circles, it works with virtually anything you draw or render with Affinity Designer. The result is a perfectly round circle: A perfectly round circle where the width and height are equal, drawn with Affinity Designer for the iPad. Holding a tap with your other index finger acts sort of like how the Shift or Control key works in a desktop environment - it locks the aspect ratio of what you’re drawing so that the width ( W) and height ( H) values scale simultaneously. While tapping and dragging, use your index finger on your other hand to hold a tap over the screen - preferably on an empty area of the canvas, as depicted above. Step 2: Hold a tap over the screen with your index finger on your other hand If you are not using a stylus then you can use your index finger. If you are using an Apple Pencil or some other stylus, tap and drag on the canvas to begin drawing your ellipse. In order to create circles we will first need to select the Ellipse Tool, which can be located in the bottom-left corner of your screen: The Ellipse Tool is located in the shapes menu towards the bottom-left corner of the screen (click to enlarge.) Step 1: Draw the circle with one hand Drawing a perfect circle in a mobile environment requires that you draw it with one hand and use your other hand to hold a tap over the canvas.
